Evaluating Ceramol Beta Complex® Cream to Relieve Itching After Skin Allergy Tests in Children Aged 6-12 Years (CALM-PRICK) (CALM-PRICK)
Efficacy of a Soothing Topical Cream (Ceramol Beta Complex®) Compared With a Control Emollient Cream in Reducing Itching After Skin Prick Tests in Pediatric Patients
Skin prick tests are among the most widely used diagnostic procedures for IgE-mediated allergic diseases, such as rhinitis, bronchial asthma, and food allergy. They are rapid, cost-effective, and sensitive techniques; however, they may cause local discomfort and itching (pruritus), which can be particularly distressing for children.
In pediatric nursing, improving patient comfort and reducing anxiety are key priorities. Various interventions, including topical corticosteroids, ice, and cold, wet compresses, have been used to relieve itching, but none has been shown to effectively reduce pruritus following skin prick testing. Available evidence suggests that post-prick test itching usually resolves spontaneously and that topical corticosteroids have not demonstrated clear superiority over simple interventions. Therefore, this study will evaluate whether applying the soothing topical cream Ceramol Beta Complex® effectively relieves itching, improves the quality of nursing care, and enhances patient well-being.Applying Ceramol Beta Complex® after skin prick test results have been read may reduce the intensity or duration of itching in children aged 6-12 years compared with a moisturizing cream without specific soothing active ingredients.To evaluate the efficacy of Ceramol Beta Complex® cream in reducing pruritus associated with positive skin prick test reactions in pediatric patients.This prospective, randomized study will include children aged 6-12 years undergoing skin prick testing in a pediatric allergy clinic. A total of 100 children will be enrolled and randomly allocated to one of two groups: (A) an intervention group, which will receive Ceramol Beta Complex® cream, or (B) a control group, which will receive the emollient cream routinely used in our pediatric allergy clinics
